Rescue Dogs for Adoption

Hello. My name is Tam. I live in Orange County, and I rescue dogs. This is my blog on my rescue dogs. They are looking for new homes. If you know anybody who is looking for a dog, please let them know about my blog. You can e-mail my posts to your friends by clicking an e-mail icon below each post. Please spread the word about rescued animals. Pets are always available for adoption at local animal shelters, too. Please always think about adopting first when you look for a pet.

A video that touches your soul

Long time!

It's been a few weeks since ZsaZsa went to a new home.
She must be fully recovered from the spay surgery by now and must be enjoying her life with her new family.
We are wishing all the best for all of them.


Stay good, ZsaZsa!

I have been busy with my family, house, business, and of course my dogs and cats....and my friend's dogs.
Can't believe this year is into the 23rd day already. We just celebrated a new year a few days ago...it feels like.

Somebody forwarded me a video clip of what happened to the Michael Vick's dogs. It's an amazing piece I really recommend it to everybody who loves dogs.
"The dogs are alright"

Wishing all the dogs and cats a nice and warm home....

ZsaZsa is getting ready for a new home!

ZsaZsa is recovering from the spaying surgery very nicely.
She is acting normally now, and eating well, and walking well.

She is going to a new home on Saturday.
It's going to be the best thing that's happened to her in her life!

ZsaZsa wants to be friends with Maj, our unfriendly cat.


She plays with our other cat, Toby.  Toby doesn't care if you are a dog, cat, human or bug. He is a boy who just wants to have fun!


We'll always be your friends, ZsaZsa!

ZsaZsa got spayed!

Yes, she did today and is now resting in our home.

The clinic she had the surgery at was "Brookhaven Pet Hospital". A small, friendly clinic that offers low-cost spay/neuter.


The poor little girl must be so tired. She is moving slow, and is very quiet.
She doesn't seem to want to eat or drink - which is probably good because if she ate it may make her sick because of the anesthesia.

I know she will feel much better tomorrow, and keep feeling better and better each day.
Looks like she will be going to her new home on Saturday. We have 5 days before that I'm sure she will be fully recovered from the surgery by then and be ready for her new family!

Don't worry, ZsaZsa. The worst is over. After this things are going to get better and better.

ZsaZsa rests after the surgery - I wish my house was a little less noisy.


Sorry ZsaZsa. You can kiss those noisy kids good-bye in 5 days!!

Happy New Year 2011!!

This year I hope everything will be a little better than last year.
The whole world struggled throughout the year, and we had many many sad stories and dismal news.

May the people be a little more considerate for the animals.
May our animals be a little safer and happier.
Wishing more animals safe forever homes.

As for us, we are starting the new year with this lucky girl.

ZsaZsa is now officially scheduled to get spayed on 1/3/2011, then go home to her new family. Yeah!
What a great beginning of the year is that!

ZsaZsa and Anko wrestle. They do this over and over and over. Looks like Anko is always it.


More adoptable dogs here!!!! I.C.A.R.E.Dog Rescue

Great news for ZsaZsa!

Looks like ZsaZsa has found her forever home.
She will be living in a very nice neighborhood that's close to a popular dog beach with a sweet lady and two doggy friends.
I am so thrilled for her and thankful that this is happening to our ZsaZsa.
We know she is a special dog who has so much love and energy in her tiny little body.

Sweet ZsaZsa


One thing we have to do in order to get ZsaZsa new-home-ready.
SPAY!
Sorry ZsaZsa, this world is full of homeless doggies we can't afford to bring in more puppies. That's even if we know your babies would be unbelievably adorable and cute.

Once we get ZsaZsa spayed, she will pack up her suitcase and head for the new home!!
And that will be the perfect beginning of the year 2011 for me.

Hand-feed your dogs

I feed my dogs dry dog food for breakfast.
I cook for dinner for them but I have busy mornings, I consider dry dog food as cereal for them.
They seem to like wet food better, and every morning they stare at the bowls of dry food and look up at me, and sit still.
I don't want to spoil them so I usually just leave them alone, and eventually they slowly eat it, and finish everything by around noon.


Now my kids' school is out, I have more time in the morning. I saw ZsaZsa struggling to pick up small pieces from her bowl, because of the shape of her mouth (?), one morning, I helped her eat by hand-feeding her dry food piece by piece.
She waited for every piece anxiously, wagging her tail, ate quite a lot off of my fingers.
Then, my other dogs came and started waiting for the dry dog food pieces with ZsaZsa, looking enthusiastic.
I was totally puzzled to see their passion for the food they normally pretend doesn't exist, but began to wonder if it was the hand-feeding that was making the boring food hard-to-get yummy treats.
I kept hand-feeding until the bowl got empty. They wanted more.
Weird, totally weird, but fun!
Since then I hand-feed them every morning. Every morning, they eat with great passion and eat a lot.
Once the school starts, I won't be able to do it but it will be good for all of us while it lasts....


Hand-feeding breakfast...ZsaZsa is so cute!

Irresistable mud puddles

On Christmas Day, I took the girls out for a walk in the morning.
It was very quiet everywhere. Everybody must have been enjoying talking with their guests and opening their gifts.

I noticed a gate to a high school field left open.
There was a huge field of wet green grass that was too temping to pass out on.
We walked in, and I let the leashes of the dogs loose.

After that, maybe for a half hour or so, they ran and ran in the puddles going crazy, getting wet and dirty.
Screaming happily and jumping with joy. It was so exciting to see them enjoy living every moment.

By the time they got plenty of fun, they were head-to-toe muddy.
I thought for a moment how I would bring these dirty animals into the house.
We had a couple of guests over at our house and I wouldn't want the dogs to jump on them with their muddy paws.
So I walked some more before we headed back home so they were (almost) dry.

They must have had the time of their lives running in the field, the moment after we got home, they all collapsed on the couch and began to nap.
Anko and ZsaZsa twitching their feet and stomach. Cute.
They must have been still running across the wet grass in their dreams.

The trio waits in front of the bathroom while I take a shower.
